itchy patients also excreted more chloroquine in their urine than non-itchy patients, further sug­gesting less metabolism of the parent drug by these patients (Ademowo etal. 2000).
Hydroxyethyl Starch
HES is a colloid traditionally used for volume replacement and uid management. Up to 64% of patients experience pruritus associated with administration of this drug (Grochenig et al.
1998; Leunig etal. 1995; Murphy etal. 2001).
Most patients characterize the itching as general­ized and severe, with a visual analogue scale median score of 9 out of 10 (Ständer etal. 2014). Lag period is usually delayed and is about 1–6weeks after initiation of HES infusion, and the itching typically lasts 9–15weeks or longer (Ebata 2016).
HES-induced pruritus is a form of neuropathic itch, as deposition of this drug has been found in Schwann cells of cutaneous nerves of itchy patients. Drug deposits were also found in epithe­lia of sweat glands, endothelial cells of blood and lymphatic vessels, dermal macrophages, Langerhans cells, and basal keratinocytes (Ständer etal. 2001). Drug deposition was shown to be proportional to dosage, and more extensive deposits were more likely to be seen in patients who developed pruritus (Sirtl et al. 1999). Furthermore, the disappearance of HES vacuoles in cutaneous nerves paralleled the improvement of pruritus (Metze etal. 1997). It remains unclear how cells that contain HES provoke itching, but it has been suggested that HES deposits may mechanically irritate nerve endings (Roeser and Tronnier 1990). Another possibility is that the cells that contain drug deposits mediate pruritus through the release of specic mediators.
Drugs Inducing Cholestasis
Cholestatic liver injury is one of the most com­mon causes of drug-induced pruritus, as many drugs are known to cause hepatotoxicity. Cholestasis refers to stagnant bile that fails to reach the duodenum (Degott 1997). The list of drugs that may induce cholestatic liver injury is quite extensive, and of note, antimicrobials are the most common culprit (Lucena et al. 2009;
Bhamidimarri and Schiff 2013). Although every single drug known to cause cholestatic liver injury has not been shown to induce pruritus, one can extrapolate that any drug which has the potential to trigger this type of liver injury also has the capability of inducing pruritus. Examples of other drugs known to induce pruritus second­ary to cholestasis include ACE inhibitors, cal­cium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, and oral contraceptives.
Patients with drug-induced cholestasis may present with a variety of symptoms, including pruritus with or without jaundice (Bhamidimarri and Schiff 2013). Itching has been shown to be most intense in the palms and soles; however it may also be generalized (Pusl and Beuers 2006; Bergasa etal. 2000). Lag time from treatment ini­tiation to onset of pruritus can range from a few weeks to many months (Orme and Da Costa
1997; Mikhail 2004; Amaro et al. 1999;
Quattropani et al. 2001; Hunt and Washington
1994). Furthermore, drugs known to induce cho-
lestasis may cause itch that does not remit until months after drug cessation (Kowdley etal. 1992; Larrey etal. 1988).
The exact mechanism by which cholestasis results in itch is still unclear; however, the pathophysiology is likely multifactorial. Bile salt accumulation is a postulated mechanism of pruritus, and there is recent evidence that MrgprX4 is a bile acid receptor for cholestatic itch (Quist etal. 1991; Yu etal. 2019). A compo­nent of neurogenic itch in which pruritus origi­nates centrally but without evidence of neural pathology is likely, as it has been proposed that cholestatic injury results in the accumulation of pruritogens such as endogenous opioids (Swain etal. 1992). It has been hypothesized that the expression of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) by autotaxin activates unmyelinated nerve endings that transmit itch in cholestasis (Elferink etal.
2011).
Anticancer Therapies
Targeted anticancer therapies are novel drugs that have led to a signicant increase in survival rates among various cancer patients. Unfortunately, they are also associated with many unwanted side

effects, including pruritus without rash. When 379 cancer survivors were asked about their per­ceptions of treatment-related dermatologic tox­icities, the third most common dermatologic side effect reported was pruritus (accounting for 36% of patients), and 44% of this patient cohort expe­rienced a negative impact on their quality of life as a result of this side effect (Gandhi etal. 2010). A systematic review and meta-analysis ascertain­ing the risk of pruritus among patients treated with targeted anticancer therapies found that these patients had a signicant risk of developing pruritus, with an overall incidence of 17% (Ensslin etal. 2013).
The mechanism of action of pruritus in tar­geted anticancer therapies depends on the drug class.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors such as panitumumab are proposed to produce itch through direct skin barrier disrup­tion. Binding of these drugs to the EGFR (epider­mal growth factor inhibitor) in the basal layer of proliferating keratinocytes can result in abnormal proliferation and migration of these cells. Furthermore, these drugs may cause sebaceous and sweat gland dysfunction as well that can con­tribute to dry skin and itch (Fischer etal. 2013).
PD-1 inhibitors such as pembrolizumab block the interaction of the PD-1 receptor with its ligand (PD-L), an interaction that normally inhib­its T cell proliferation and reduces cytokine load (Belum etal. 2016).
Interestingly, a study by Huber etal. showed that blockade of PD-L2, a ligand for the PD-1 receptor, caused an enhanced Th2 response (Huber etal. 2010). As Th2 cells are known to produce IL-31, a pruritic cytokine, it is possible that PD-1 inhibitors induce pruritus through their induction of the Th2 immune response (Kabashima 2013; Raap et al. 2012; Gutzmer etal. 2009).
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib mesylate have been implicated in drug-induced itch, with frequencies of all-grade pruritus of up to 10% (Yosipovitch 2018). This drug selectively targets protooncogenes such as Abl, c-Kit, and the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) recep­tor. Although human mast cells express the c-kit
receptor which is susceptible to inhibition by imatinib, a paradoxical increase in the number of dermal mast cells has been identied in patients on a high-dose imatinib regimen (Ugurel etal.
2003; Ma et al. 2002). Furthermore, levels of
IL-31 and IL-33 have been identied in the serum of patients undergoing imatinib therapy (Musolino et al. 2015). These ndings taken together have led to the postulation that keratino­cyte injury secondary to imatinib usage may cause the release of IL-33, which interacts with mast cells to aid in the induction of chemoattrac­tants such as IL-31, a known itchy cytokine (Musolino etal. 2015).
Finally, IL-2 is an anticancer therapy that has been shown to cause pruritus in up to 65% of patients. This is not surprising as IL-2 is among the many known pruritogenic cytokines and has been shown to play a role in eliciting itch in inammatory skin diseases such as atopic derma­titis (Yosipovitch and Papoiu 2008; Chi et al.
2001; Redman etal. 1990).
Other Drugs
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibi­tors are widely used drugs for the treatment of hypertension and, in a large multicenter study, were shown to cause pruritus without rash in up to 61% of patients (Huang etal. 2019). Additional reports of ACE inhibitors causing pruritus have been published (Steckelings etal. 2001; Thestrup­Pedersen 1987; Gibbs etal. 1999). ACE inhibi­tors degrade bradykinin, an inammatory mediator that has been shown to activate itch bers.
Serotonin-reuptake inhibitors have been shown to produce pruritus without rash in up to 54% of patients (Huang etal. 2019). Serotonin has also been shown to cause itch when intrader­mally injected (Weisshaar et al. 1997). It has been shown that serotonin can act as a pruritogen by acting on the 5-HT2 receptor, and that central 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HT) signaling facilitates itch transmission (Yosipovitch etal. 2018; Zhao etal. 2014). Interestingly, these drugs have also been used as successful treatment for pruritus, highlighting the complexity regarding itch trans­mission (Leslie etal. 2015).

Statins are drugs that have revolutionized lipid management and work through their modulation of lipid metabolism and inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis (Stancu and Sima 2001). Statins may cause drug-induced pruritus directly second­ary to xerosis cutis; however this side effect is quite rare, as these drugs also have an anti­inammatory component that may reduce itch (Huang etal. 2019; Garibyan etal. 2013). Note that statin-induced pruritus is likely to be multi­factorial, as these drugs have been reported to induce pruritus indirectly through their choles­tatic effects as well (Kashyap etal. 2002; Sharma etal. 2006; Russo etal. 2009, 2014).
5 Diagnosis
Drug-induced pruritus may be difcult to diag­nose due to the abundance of triggers that may induce itching, such as the primary disease for which the medication has been prescribed (i.e., cancer), the medical background of the patient (i.e., atopic predisposition, liver disease, and chronic renal disease), and other factors (i.e., allergies). Proof of diagnosis is challenging and may be supported through clinical improvement of symptoms upon drug cessation. However, pru­ritus may continue in some cases even though the offending drug has been discontinued, as elabo­rated above.
When a patient complains of pruritus and drug-induced itch is highly suspected, a thor­ough history and physical exam should be per­formed. All components of the patient history are important, including past medical history, family history, and allergies, including personal and family atopic background. Also, a list of all drugs the patient has been prescribed, including dietary supplements and vitamins, should be recorded. Features of the pruritus should be assessed, including onset timing following drug initiation, intensity, location, quality, and time of day during which the itching occurs. Alleviating or aggravating factors should be elucidated as well, such as exposure to hot water, sweating, temperature changes, and response to various treatments.
Physical exam should include inspection of the entire skin, hair, and nails. Lymph node enlargement and organomegaly should also be assessed. It is crucial to differentiate between primary and secondary lesions of the skin, as drug- induced pruritus does not include primary skin lesions. However, intense rubbing and scratching of the skin induces various secondary skin lesions, such as excoriations (linear or punctate) and thickened and leathery skin with exacerbated markings (lichenication). A diag­nosis of drug- induced pruritus is also to be dif­ferentiated from the various pruritic rashes that may also be induced by drugs, such as psoriasi­form rashes, induction of eczema, drug-induced bullous pemphigoid, etc. Diagnostic testing should include complete blood count and full chemistries, including renal and liver function tests.
6 Treatment
Once an offending drug is suspected, discontinu­ing the drug should be a consideration. However, a risk-benet analysis for each case needs to be considered where the benet of medical treat­ment with the drug outweighs the decrease in patient quality of life arising from the pruritus. Most causes of drug-induced pruritus typically resolve after cessation of the culprit drug (Nammour et al. 2003; Aggarwal et al. 2011; O’Beirne and Cairns 2001). In cases where the offending drug is not discontinued, treatment should instead focus on symptomatic relief. Mild pruritus that is localized can be treated topically with local anesthetics such as pramoxine, cooling agents such as menthol and calamine, ion channel inhibitors such as strontium, or combined appli­cation of ketamine-amitriptyline-lidocaine. Application of cool temperature may also be helpful in attenuating itch. For more severe, gen­eralized itch, systemic therapy such as gabapen­tin or pregabalin, antidepressants such as mirtazapine and paroxetine, butorphanol, and phototherapy should be considered (Yosipovitch et al. 2018; Ensslin et al. 2013; Santini et al.
2012). Aprepitant may be helpful specically for

the management of severe pruritus related to anti­cancer treatments (Santini etal. 2012).
If drug cessation does not result in relief of symptoms, treatment options may depend on the culprit drug. For example, opioid-induced itch has successfully been treated with naloxone, nalbu­phine, butorphanol, and ondansetron (Gan et al.
1997; Korhonen etal. 2003; Alhashemi etal. 1997).
First-line treatment of chloroquine- induced itch is antihistamines; however prednisolone, niacin, and naltrexone have been used as well (Bussaratid etal.
2000; Adebayo et al. 1997; Ajayi et al. 2004).
Chronic itch induced by HES can be treated with topical capsaicin, UV therapy, or naltrexone (Szeimies et al. 1994; Metze et al. 1999). Drugs that induce itch indirectly through cholestatic liver injury should be treated with ursodeoxycholic acid, rifampin, or cholestyramine (Ebata 2016).
7 Conclusion
Drug-induced pruritus accounts for a great propor­tion of adverse drug reactions. Although common, this adverse reaction can be quite elusive, as pruri­tus manifests without coexisting skin lesions, and many drugs of different classes have the potential to cause this medical problem. Nevertheless, clini­cians must be able to identify this adverse reaction and importantly, to distinguish it from pruritus secondary to a skin eruption. While several puta­tive mechanisms of drug-induced pruritus have been elucidated, in most cases, the role of the drug in the itch pathway remains unclear. Further stud­ies clarifying such mechanisms may help guide future treatment.

Drug-Induced Nail Changes
https://t.me/medicina_free
Chia-ChunAng andEckartHaneke
1 Introduction
Adverse drug reactions can affect multiple organs in the body. The effects of drug reactions on skin, hair, and nails are most accessible to clinical examination and may thus provide the earliest clinical clues. Nail changes in particular can per­sist for months, giving a clue to a drug-induced reaction from the recent past. Some drug-induced nail toxicity can lead to signicant morbidity. In this short review, we aim to provide a framework to assess and manage drug reactions of the nail unit. The strength of evidence for many drug­induced nail changes is limited to case reports and in some cases the causality is difcult to determine, with the possibility of the nail changes being due to the underlying medical condition. While we strive to highlight known associations for drug-induced nail changes, our review is not exhaustive, and readers are encouraged to review the literature as part of their diagnostic consider­ation when they encounter patients with sus­pected drug-induced nail changes.

2 Human Nail Unit Anatomy
withPathophysiological Correlation
A drug can affect the nail unit through its usual mechanism of action (e.g., cytotoxicity of chemo­therapeutic agents on the dividing cells of the nail matrix), from direct involvement of the matrix, nail bed, and/or periungual skin in a great number of inammatory cutaneous drug reactions, or from deposition of the drug or its metabolites in the nail unit, although in some cases the exact causative mechanism is unknown. The clinical picture depends on which part of the nail unit is affected. Usually more than one nail is affected by a sys­temically administered drug, and the nail changes appear earlier in the faster growing ngernails compared to the toenails (Piraccini etal. 2004).
The nail unit consists of the nail plate, which is surrounded proximally by the proximal nail fold and cuticle, laterally by the lateral nail folds, and distally by the hyponychium. Periungual granula­tion tissue (incorrectly referred to as drug-induced periungual pyogenic granuloma by some authors) and acute paronychia (Fig.1a, b) occur along the proximal and lateral nail folds from a combina­tion of drug-induced nail plate brittleness (leading to ingrowing nail), fragility of the epidermis due to decreased epidermal proliferation, and drug­induced predisposition to granulation tissue for­mation. Synthetic retinoids, reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and, in particular, epidermal growth
